Chapter Twelve
Drew draped himselfover the back of a horse as Adam was hunched over, working on the hoof on the other side.
“I’m going to go look in on Hailey.She’s been avoiding me all day, and I don’t like it.”
“Try not to piss her off this time.It’s been over a week since she found out and, in that time, I think she’s been angry most of it.”
“All I’ve done is try to help her,” Drew said smoothly.
Adam looked up at his brother and snorted.“You think pinning her to the counter, her desk, and the wall is helping her?”
Drew grinned.“Sure, I was helping her stir in the kitchen, organize in the office, and I thought I saw a spider on that wall.”
Adam’s head tilted back as he belted out a laugh.After a moment, he took a breath and wiped his eye.“Those are good excuses, but you know she wouldn’t fall for that in a hundred years.”
Drew chuckled.“I figured I needed some kind of comeback for when she started grilling me.”
“You two are going to be fun to watch, that’s for sure.”
“I think I could have had her pants down the last time if you hadn’t come around the corner.”
“Yeah, I figured.Sorry about that.”
“Give me a little time today.I’m going to try to push it.”
“I think it’s time.I’ll be in for dinner, and if I don’t hear the two of you, I’ll eat with the guys.”
Drew nodded.“Thanks, man.Wish me luck.”
“Luck,” Adam said, and laughed.
Drew stopped in the office doorway and was disappointed when he didn’t see Hailey.It was as he was turning to leave that he caught sight of her on the sofa, napping.
Drew crouched down beside her and took a minute to study her face.To some, she might just seem attractive, but to him, there wasn’t a more beautiful woman out there.He swept a lock of hair out of her face and then rubbed the back of one finger against her cheek.
“Hey, kitten?”
She hummed but didn’t stir.
